December 29 - Independence Day in Mongolia

Posted on December 29, 2019



Today Mongolia celebrates its independence from China in 1921. 

Actually, the December 29 holiday commemorates the declaration of independence on this date in 1911. Mongolia set up a republic at that time - but China invaded and took control in 1919. Mongolia was able to achieve lasting independence with the help of Russia in1921.

Mongolia is famous for Genghis Khan (aka Chinggis Khan), conqueror / unifier / ruler / founder of the Mongol Empire...


This monument to Genghis Khan is perfectly enormous!

...for the snow leopard, wild Bactrian camel, and horses...





...for nomads and their tents (gers, or yurts)...



...for the Gobi Desert...




...for the richest collection of dinosaur fossils in the world...


Not all fossils are fossilized bones. Some are footprints!
